Exploring With Dad


John and Taylor decided to drive up the Poudre Canyon today to do some exploring. While Mom was home sleeping, they uncovered some of the beauty Colorado is famous for. Taylor found a great hiking stick and spent the afternoon splashing in the Cache la Poudre River.


Taylor was excited to find out that there are lots of camping and picnicking areas along the river, as well as hiking trails to explore. Plans are already in the works to take a picnic up there sometime this week.



On the way home, John and Taylor stopped at an outdoor store and picked up a CamelBak (pink, of course) for her to use on their adventures. She hasn't taken it off since she got it and the 'coolness' factor has gotten her to drink more water today than I've gotten her to drink all week long. Hmmmm. If I had only known how easy it could be...


The next thing to figure out is where the best spots are to take kids fishing. Taylor is soooooooo excited about the idea of fishing--I wonder what she'll think of the actual activity? She and Dad have scoped out the perfect first fishing pole. With some help from fishing-savvy friends and neighbors, we'll have our first fishing expedition soon. Very soon.
